let's go down to hillsboro county in florida. this is tampa. it is where republicans held their convention. that's not an accident there. it is the beginning of the i-4 corridor across the middle of the state. hill b hillsboro county is the state president bush carried with the majority in 2004. president obama came back and carried hillsboro county in 2008. both candidates are focused on that county as well. then finally in the state of ohio, probably the hinge state in this election with 18 electoral votes. look in the center of the state. franklin county which is where columbus is. now it tends to be a democratic county. john kerry carried it with 54% in 2004. it has ohio state, has the state capital there. but that wasn't enough for him to carry the state. barack obama carried it with 60% of the vote. that is the formula for democratic success. mitt romney's trying very hard to prevent him from rolling out margins like that. in fact, mitt romney's going back there this afternoon. both candidates have spend tremendous amount of time. >> how

that romney had decided to spend a ton of money and win pennsylvania and ohio and he already owned florida. so it's all a done deal. don't believe me? did you watch cnbc's coverage last night? republly can after republican came on right after ohio got called for the president. these people were just plain, out right sellers today. they bought in anticipation of winning. they sell what romney lost. most of my investors will say oh, yeah, hey, sure. let that run its course. i'm not going to sell my gap stores for target, right or wrong? however, i would rebut that we suddenly have a new word. the head of the european central bank picked up today, of all days, to say that things have worsened dramatically in europe including germany. that means there's a new sense of urgency to fix the europeanness and we're learning to be wary of the way europeans are going about their "bailouts." here's what the client would say. wait a second. we've been through this before. why do i have to take any action? come on, that's a fool's errand. you're just trying to churn me. i, with my broker hat on again wou

florida still too close to call. during his speech he taouch tou a number of topics. bringing democrats and republicans together in washington to resolve a number of issues. >> i believe we can seize this future together. we are not as divided as our politics suggest. we're not as cynical as pundits believe. we are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. we are and forever will be the united states of america. >> so what's next for president obama? obviously the fiscal cliff talks and already we're hearing that house speaker boehner plans on addressing that issue at least initially this afternoon. president obama does return to the white house this afternoon. he has no public events scheduled but i imagine it won't be long before we get an indication of what will happen over the next couple of weeks. one last thought, having covered this campaign and looking at the auto industry, it will be interesting to see what happens with the treasury department's stake in general motors. it's about 25%

. >>> welcome back to "squawk box" this morning, the race in the battleground state of florida lived up to its billing. that presidential contest is still too close to call. but mary thompson is there. and maybe she's not going to call it for us, but can give us more information on where we are. mary? >> reporter: no, i'm not going to call it, andrew. might not be until this afternoon or possibly 9 to 12 days from now before we know the outcome of the florida vote here. the vote count was called off late last night. miami-dade, which is one of the most populous counties here in florida said it would continue the vote count today. hanging in the balance, 29 electoral votes. but, again, at this point may make little difference. this is where we stand as far as the vote count goes with president obama showing a slight lead over governor romney according to the florida division of elections. now, even if the final results are submitted today, if there is a margin of victory of less than .5%, here in florida, that triggers an automatic vote recount. that has to be completed either after n

it's true in florida. it's true in paris. >> bob, the last time we talked, you seemed passionate about the need to fix our debt as a country. i wonder what your take is on president obama winning re-election. does that change anything for the company, for the industry? in terms of this fiscal cliff, everybody is expecting taxes to go higher. we're not sure how high on dividends and capital gains. will that dictate your behavior in terms of disney's payout, your dividend? >> well, first of all, i think i was most passionate when we last talked about the change in the corporate tax rate where we are the highest in the world right now. i don't think that makes this country competitive. i think it's a real impediment to true growth. so i'm very passionate about addressing that, not only reducing the rate, but in order to do so, i think certain loopholes have to get closed as well in order to make this country far more competitive. i think that's very important. i've seen some very compelling statistics about w

look at the state of florida. one that mitt romney is counting on as a lynchpin of the base. 29 electoral votes. president obama up among likely voters 49-47. in ohio, the state most look at as the potential tipping point. president obama has a six-point lead. he's gone hard on the auto bailout and hitting mitt romney. that's a point of contention. because ohio has been such a tough nut for the romney campaign to crack, that's a reason they are making a late play into pennsylvania. it depends on turnout organization, especially the composition of the electorate. what portion of white voters versus hispanics. definitely a lower level of intensity and young people. barack obama dominates among young people. mitt romney among seniors who are more motivated to vote. how much will that carry the day? we'll find out tomorrow. >> if you're looking for an early tell tomorrow, if you could only look at one state early on, virginia. if it's decisive either way does that suggest the rest of the night collapses in that direct
